Resident Evil™ 2: The Board Game is a co-operative survival horror game for 1-4 players set in the Resident Evil™ universe. Players choose from a number of familiar characters before venturing into the zombie-infested streets and buildings of Raccoon City in a desperate fight to escape the nightmare!

Designed specifically for the Resident Evil™ universe from the ground up, this game brings the thrills—and the dangers!—of the setting to the tabletop. World-class miniatures and innovative new mechanics help deliver an experience that captures the essence of the much-loved original video games while offering new twists and turns.

A license to make a Resident Evil-themed board game was purchased by Steamforged Games Ldt. and launched on KickStarter to fund the mass production and distribution of the game. This business pattern was previously done by Steamforged for Dark Souls: The Board Game.

Funding launched on Kickstarter from September 25, 2017 - October 23, 2017. With a goal of £150,000 ($202,573.50 USD) it successfully managed to raise £800,561 ($1,081,149.62 USD) within a 28 day pledge cycle.[2]
